The story of the guying inviting two girls on a date has been done a million times over there's nothing new that can be done with this story. You would think that TV shows would just put this story line to bed.
And yet, "Suddenly Ryan" at least added the new twist of having Ryan make the choice because he was upset about his girlfriend leaving and he didn't really know what he wanted. Sure, he was still a jerk to do it, but it was a slightly new spin, rather than just being about him wanting to have all the women he could.
Another interesting take was having him invite three girls out rather than only two.
Rachel's departure didn't just affect Ryan, but also Liz, who has to deal with Maria and Katie constantly trying to compare her to Rachel.
